I'd say they aren't - by definition.

"Never meant to". what a load of garbage.

The vast majority of Facebook posts don't go viral and are not seen by very many people. And her original post simply mentioned, without necessarily endorsing, her neighbor's belief about a missing cat.

So I see no a priori reason to dismiss the sincerity of her regret. I think it's good that she is now speaking up against the rumor.

Of course this is a cautionary tale for the rest of us: DON'T REPEAT UNFOUNDED RUMORS ONLINE!

I think you're defining 'regular normal people' much more narrowly than can realistically be done.
